- Adequate supporting documentation;
- A sample of the product if requested by the Certifier;
- Production marking and instruction sheets; and
- Critical component listing and specifications.
The supporting evidence should identify the product and any important design features. The Certifier reserves the right to request additional information in support of any application made.
2. Suitable Test Report(s). Applicant shall provide evidence of compliance with the applicable product standard by submitting an original or an authentic copy of a type test report, in English. The type test report shall cover a representative sample of the product. The submitted tests report(s) must state compliance with the applicable product standard(s). Acceptable test reports include:
- Report from an IANZ, NATA, or MRA partner laboratory where the testing is covered by the scope of laboratory accreditation.

- Other reports and/or documentation which are deemed by the Certifier to provide an equivalent degree of confidence.

Submitted samples shall be retained for a period of not less than 30 days. After 30 days, the Certifier may dispose of the samples in its sole discretion unless specific instructions have been given to the contrary.
C.Certification Process and Deliverables
1. Basis of certification decision. Any certificate issued by the Certifier is based upon conformity to the applicable product standard as demonstrated by the submitted evidence. The applicant takes sole responsibility for all products supplied to the Australian and New Zealand marketplace being the same as the certified sample(s).
2. Consideration of new technology. For non-declared product, when there is no existing standard due to new technology, consideration may be given to issuing a Certificate of Compliance (but not a Certificate of Approval) based on an equivalent applicable standard, where the non-conformance, if any, per the equivalent standard does not affect the safety of the product. Such a decision to certify will only be made upon review of any such request submitted in writing by the CO to the appropriate UL Subject Matter Expert.
3. Certification Body obligations. All applications submitted to the Certifier will be treated in a confidential and non-discriminatory manner. If required by the standard, certification details (as contained on the Certificate) will be available to the public upon public request. Additional certification details of declared articles may be made available to the regulatory authorities upon request.
4. Applicant / certificate holder obligations. Certificate holder agrees that it will only make claims of certification for products covered by the certification Program and listed on a valid certificate. The certificate holder shall not make claims regarding certification (including the use of any mark or logo) which are misleading, unauthorised or which could bring the certification body into disrepute, including but not limited to the sale of products using a pre-allocated certification mark for which a certificate authorising the use of that mark has not been issued. The certificate holder shall notify the Certifier of any changes to the certificate holder's name or contact details, or to the certified product, by formal application for modification. The certificate holder shall make available any samples, drawings, technical documentation or other records that the Certifier may require in the course of issuing and maintaining product certification.
5. Certification marking. Certificate of Approval numbers issued by the Certifier use the format UxxxxxEA. Certificate of Compliance numbers use the format Uxxxxx. "xxxxx" denotes a unique number specific to an issued certificate. Use of this mark is limited to certified products or their packaging, or to media referencing such products.
6. Corporate certification. An applicant may apply for a unique code to be issued for marking on all certified products. Individual certificates will still be issued for each certified product. Application for a corporate certification code shall be made using form 39-IC-F0025A together with the applicable fee.
7. Certificate validity. Certificates remain valid until the specified expiry date which will not exceed 5years from the date of issuance. Certificates are considered to be withdrawn upon expiry. Extension to the period of validity of an issued certificate may be considered only under special circumstances.
8. Certificate renewal. An issued certificate may be renewed prior to its expiry and application for renewal shall be made using form 39-IC-F0025 together with the applicable fee and documentation. Where the standard has been amended or revised, evidence of compliance with any amended or revised requirements will be required.
9. Use of Regulatory Compliance Mark. The applicant may use the Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) described in AS/NZS4417 instead of any certification mark issued by the certification body where the requirements of all applicable parts of AS/NZS4417 are fulfilled. The applicant shall advise the Certifier where the RCM is to be used.
10. Ownership of certificates. All issued certificates remain the property of the Certifier, with permission given to the certificate holder for use of the certificate for the period of its validity.
11. Test program. Where suitable evidence of compliance cannot be provided, the Certifier can provide a test programme in order to obtain certification. Additional costs will apply. Test programmes may include reference to sub-contract testing services where the Certifier has an agreement with a suitable sub-contract service provider. There is no obligation on behalf of the applicant to utilise those sub-contract testing services provided with a test program.
12. Non-conformity. Should issues of non-conformity be identified during the certification process the applicant will be notified. Multiple submissions or document review due to identification of non-conformities will incur addition cost as per the Schedule of Fees.
D.Certification Changes or Withdrawals
1. Certificate modification - change of particulars. The certificate holder shall notify the Certifier within 1month of any change in particulars such as address, trading name or legal status of the certificate holder, and brand or model reference of the certified product. Notification shall be made using form 39-IC-F0025 together with the applicable fee and documentation.
2. Certificate modification - change to product. The certificate holder shall notify the Certifier of any changes to certified product prior to marking and/or sale. Notification shall be made using form 39-IC-F0025 together with the applicable fee and documentation.
3. Replacement certificate or additional copies. Replacement certificates or additional copies may be requested from the Certifier using form 39-IC-F0025 together with the applicable fee.
4. Transfer of certificate. Where a certificate is to be transferred between parties, both the transferor and transferee will submit their written consent of the transfer to the Certifier. Notification shall be made using form 39-IC-F0025A together with the applicable fee and supporting documentation.
5. Suspension or cancellation of certificates. The Certifier has the right to suspend or cancel certificates where there has been a breach of these Terms of Certification or if the product is deemed to not meet certification requirements. In the event of suspension or cancellation, no reference shall be made to the product certification in any public form in any media including electronic media and the certificates shall be returned to the Certifier. In the event of certificate cancellation, the Certifier shall invoke the process outlined on the Australian Federal Recalls website; Any decision by the Certifier on suspension or cancellation shall be at its sole discretion.
